Airhead by Meg Cabot

Airhead
Meg Cabot

OVERVIEW
Emerson Watts is anything but an airhead. Embracing her boyish name, Em, is a total tomboy. She spends her time playing computer games, and hanging out with best friend and crush Christopher, while making fun of the Walking Dead--Whitney Robertson and her group of friends and followers at Tribeca Alternative (TAHS) who think they are at the top of the pyramid. Em would rather die than become a Walking Dead. But what happens when that choice is, literally, made for her? Will she ever accept this whole new body that's turning heads everywhere she goes? Does she finally have what it takes to get noticed by the one she loves?



REVIEW
Going into this book, I really didn't know what it was about. Sure I knew that he main character, Em, gets a whole new look, but I didn't know how, although I thought I knew why. Meg Cabot is an awesome author, and Airhead was no exception of hers. The plot is totally original and very well written. Meg keeps you in suspense long enough to want to know what's going on, but not for too long to where you get tired with the book. It's just enough gist to keep you on the edge of your seat, while awaiting the sequel. Being Nikki hits stores in May 2009.
The only problem I had with the book was Christopher and Em's relationship. I think Meg should have emphasized more on it, before the incident. That way afterwards, we could have had a better idea of what was going on in Christopher's mind. Hopefully, there's more of him in Being Nikki.

I GIVE THIS ONE FIVE THUMBS UP
